| Eakring Butterfly species list | ||
 |
The area list now stands
at 26 species, after the discoveries of Purple Hairstreak
and Essex Skipper during July 2003. Three of the list are
migrants butterflies. Further additions are generally unlikely, but the easily overlooked and inconspicuous Dingy Skipper and Grizzled Skipper could occur in future years. The number preceding either common and/or latin names, are those ascribed by Bradley and Fletcher in "An indexed List of British Lepidoptera" 1979 & 1986. |
